Microwave assisted thermal sterilization mats is an emerging technology that is an efficient combination of both thermal and microwave energy to sterilize packaged food thereby offering microbial inactivation equivalent to thermal sterilization along with reducing the deleterious effects of heat on the food components tang 2015b.
Mats microwave assisted thermal sterilization technology.
While microwave assisted thermal sterilisation is at the early stages of technology transfer in the usa both dsto the australian centre for food innovation cfi are developing a strong business case for investment in an australian microwave assisted thermal sterilisation pilot plant.
This is a patent technology of 915 labs for additive free packaged food it s a post packaging sterilisation process.
Microwave assisted thermal sterilization improves on retorting by minimizing time temperature requirements to produce healthier foods.
Market focus fresh ideas.
Food manufacturers that want to explore the system s benefits will be able to visit the facilities to test the technology.
Microwave assisted thermal sterilisation food processing technology mats technology is attracting interest from foodservice operations as well as food and beverage companies.
An ideal opportunity exists to be involved as an industry.
Mats uses 915 megahertz mhz frequency microwave energy in conjunction with pressurized hot water to sterilize or pasteurize packaged foods.
